What are the safety precautions for outdoor sports in summer

In summer, the weather is very hot. Many people will stay at home and not go out. However, some people are not afraid of the heat and do outdoor sports. Most of these sports are outside the city, in mountainous areas or remote places. They can be cross-regional travel, mountain climbing or cycling, etc. The type of sports is related to people's hobbies. It is necessary for everyone to clarify the sports items and then conduct reasonable safety analysis to avoid danger during sports. So what are the safety precautions for outdoor sports in summer?

When doing outdoor activities such as hiking, mountaineering, and cycling in summer, the sun is quite strong. Please pay attention to the following points:

1. Sun protection: Generally speaking, the team sets out in the morning and arrives at the starting point at almost noon. The team has not been moving for long, and it is already noon. The temperature is the highest at this time, the sun is scorching, and the ultraviolet rays in the sun are particularly strong. If the skin is exposed to the sun for a long time, it will cause 1~2 degree burns and heat stroke. Ultraviolet rays can also penetrate the skin and bones, radiate to the meninges and retina, and damage the brain and eyeballs!

Countermeasures

In hot weather, you should try to avoid walking on the coastline and the firebreaks on the ridges. When participating in general activities, you must bring a sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, towel, long-sleeved tops, and bring anti-heat medicines such as Shi Di Shui Ren Dan Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Wan Qing Liang Oil.

2. Drink water

In summer, outdoor sports cause a lot of sweating, so water must be replenished in time. However, if the drinking method is not correct, it will lead to adverse consequences. Many models in beverage advertisements often pick up a bottle of beverage and drink it all in one gulp while exercising or resting. It seems to quench your thirst, but in fact, from the perspective of sports physiology, it is very harmful. Drinking a lot of water during and after exercise will add a burden to the blood circulation system, the digestive system, especially the heart, causing more fatigue. The result of drinking a lot of water will only cause more sweating, leading to further loss of salt and causing cramps.

Countermeasures:

Drink a few sips of water each time. Generally speaking, a day's activity in summer (5-8 hours) requires at least 2-3 liters of drinking water, and even 6 liters of water in high temperature conditions. Recommended amount to carry: 600 ml bottled water 4p or more, 550 ml sports drink 1p or more, 50 grams of mustard tuber. You can also mix your own sports drink, recipe: some green tea or black tea (2 small bags in bags), some fruit flavored powdered drinks such as fruit essence, some glucose, a little edible salt (optional, medical physiological salt is best)

3. Heat illness (heat exhaustion, heat stroke)

In summer, when you participate in outdoor sports, due to the high temperature and large amount of exercise, the body accumulates more heat than it dissipates. If you don't take precautions, you will easily get a heat illness. A mild heat illness is heat exhaustion, and a severe heat stroke (also known as heat stroke) is

When exercising in hot weather, the blood vessels in the skin will expand in order to lower the body temperature, and the body will lose water due to excessive sweating. The blood circulation to the brain and other important parts will be reduced to an abnormal level. As a result, the following symptoms will occur: rapid pulse, cold and wet skin, dizziness, weakness, nausea, which is heat exhaustion. If the body is not cooled down in time, the temperature in the body will further accumulate and the temperature of the body's key organs will rise to a dangerous level, and emergency symptoms will appear: extremely fast pulse, weakness, headache, mental state changes (confusion or inability to cooperate, slowly falling into a coma), hot and flushed skin, which means that heat stroke has occurred. If it is not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.

In order to protect against the sun and prevent the body from being injured by grass and thorns, you need to wear a hat and long clothes and long pants during the march, but this brings the problem of heat dissipation. To help dissipate body temperature, you can soak the hat with water when walking in the sun; when walking in places where the sun cannot reach, take off the hat; when resting, try to put down the backpack and unbutton the collar of the shirt; the resting place should preferably be a place where the sun cannot reach and is ventilated.

What are the safety precautions for outdoor sports in summer? The most important thing to pay attention to when going out in summer is sun protection to prevent the body from being affected by the weather and having heat stroke. We are even more worried that patients will be restricted in their diet due to lack of water, food, etc. Of course, when exercising or doing activities in hot weather, there will be a chance of developing various diseases. Patients must also prevent these more harmful diseases and make relevant preparations before going out to avoid accidents after going out.
